camp themes

week 1: ​Out of this WOrld

Let’s explore outer space together, create rockets, play games, learn about the stars and planets ~ all through hands-on activities, songs, and play.

week 2: ​Mad Scientists

This will be a week of creating ooey-gooey concoctions both inside and out. Some will be edible, and some, not! What happens when you mix baking soda, vinegar, and food coloring? Have you ever heard of hot ice? It’ll be a week of exploring and experimenting

week 3: Animals in The wild

We will be exploring native New England species with all 5 senses ~ from butterflies to Bobcats! We’ll be answering questions like… What do they look like? How big or small are they? What are some special characteristics? Do we need to be scared of them? Who are their friends and foes

week 4: Castle Days

This week is filled with Royal adventures, medieval- themed art projects, large movement activities, play and stories, all surrounding the world of life in a castle

week 5: Exploring Water

Using tools and natural materials, the children will make amazing creations that we will attempt to float. We will also have hours of opportunity to experiment with water in art, sensory activities, dramatic play, and science experiments. Extra clothes will be a must for this week.

week 6: nature Camp

​It’s all about the natural world! We’ll take nature walks, create art with natural materials, learn about local creatures and their habitats, and participate in activities that encourage interaction with the natural world!
